The golden syrup came out in a great big blob when the lid just popped off... so I'd estimated the quantity. Teaches me to buy sauce bottles from $2 shops!! When it comes to a noodle dish, I really do miss that smooth texture of the sauces on the noodles. I hoped I could replicate this and I think I got it!!

WowWowWow!!!! Even I had seconds. The Breatharian didn't have any, but that's par for the course. Ms D & C absolutely inhaled it... Ms C again declaring it the 'best dinner ever'! Honestly, she's going to have to tone it down a tad. There's just no in between with this one. :) Mr frillypants also loved it. I only missed out on thirds because I was stuck under a feeding baby. For this meal I also put the bowl on the table with it all mixed in and everyone got to serve their own seconds and thirds. They enjoyed doing this and meant they didn't need to wait while I fed Mr JA.

No tweeks... it was scrummy yummy!!! Obviously you could make it with whatever veg is in the fridge, but I think it makes it more special to use a different 'set' of veg for a different 'cuisine'.
